Even a racer in last place can turn things around and be the winning player by the end of the last lap. The results of a race often depended on how the racers use their weapon. The weapons would become a significant part in the Mario Kart experience. On top of this, weapons were introduced to the race genre, effectively turning Super Mario Kart into a battle racer.
This game mechanic offered a very clever feeling of depth as players would often master a character and taking advantage of their skills. This affects the speed and performance of the karts as light characters have slower speeds but control better, while heavy characters are quite fast but harder to control. Each character, made up of protagonists, villains, and supporting characters of the Mushroom Kingdom, is a different class of racer: light, medium, and heavy. It's here where the beauty of the game lies. Super Mario Kart starts out as a basic racer, with the main objective being racing around the track, trying to cross the finish line first. The game was so successful it gave Mario an indisputable presence in the sports genre and created a very respected and influential game series. It took the classic and familiar Mario franchise and placed it into a new genre of gaming: the kart racer.
Super Mario Kart is a funny example of both mentalities at play. If not, it reinvigorated classic series into super stardom. One of the most amazing things the Super NES ever did was be the home of some of the most beloved and original franchises ever seen in gaming.
